Tips & Advice

  • Arrive earlier in the day or on weekdays to avoid the largest crowds, especially closer to the Christmas holiday.
  • Bring cash for smaller vendors, as not all may accept card payments.
  • Check the HERBRAND's social media pages for any special events or live music schedules announced closer to the market dates.
  • Wear comfortable shoes as you'll likely be doing a lot of walking and standing while browsing the market stalls.
  • Be sure to try the mulled wine (Glühwein) and traditional German gingerbread (Lebkuchen) for an authentic market experience.
